Maytag Ensignia We just got the above referenced machine and I understand how to hook up the water but there is an extraneous black hose coming out of the back of the machine and I am not sure what it is for or what I should do with it. Would you please let me know. I have no book to go by. Thanks Ed O'Mara [email protected]

The drain hose has to be at least 30 inches above the floor or gravity will drain the machine. Also: If the water hose is jammed into the drain a siphoning affect will occur in some instances.
You may have to just raise the drain hose up higher. It sounds as if the water is going out the drain hose as it tries to fill.Drain hose should be up as high as the top of the washer.Hope this helps.
You need to check your water level switch. Make sure the clear hose that runs from the tub to the control panel is clear, not kinked or clogged and has not come loose at either end. Hope this helps
take a wet dry shop vac and attach it tothe end off the drain hose and remove all the water.once the water is removed move the washer away from the wall. tilt it back and look under the front you should see the drain pump and motor remove the two black hoses and look for anything stuck in the drain pump.
then look for a black rubber piece with two white plastic pieces on both side if this is broken then replace it this is your transmsiion coupler.
if there is nothing wrong with either one of these items then you may need to rpelace the lid switch.
If it fills with water and starts the cycle and
the water keeps running in then your water inlet valve on the back where the
water supply comes in is sticking. It needs replacing.
Many of the maytag toploaders have a rubber fill hose at the top of the outer drum. Sometimes if the machine is fully loaded (or overloaded), during the spin cycle if clothes are above the top of the drum they can actually knock the rubber flange of the hose out of the drum. Then when the machine fills with water, it will dump it down the outside of the tub and it will appear that the water is leaking from the top and side of the drum... Fix it by snapping the fill hose flange back into the hole in the top part of the drum... let me know how you do or need more help...
You need to remove the cover and check the voltage to the cold water inlet valve. Do this with a volt meter while it is set to fill with cold water. It is most likely an AC voltage that is around 24 volts. If you have voltage then the valve is most likely bad.
the number one cause of this is your drain hose is too far down in the stand pipe or too low beneath the tub the drain hase should loop above the tub and about 4 inches down in the stand pipe if not this will create a siphoning effect that will drain the water as it fills
